4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> commit 7056d3a37d2c6aaaab10c13e8e69adc67ec1fc65 upstream. Burt Holzman has noticed that memcg v1 doesn't notify about OOM events via eventfd anymore. The reason is that 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") has moved the oom handling back to the charge path. While doing so the notification was left behind in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize. Fix the issue by replicating the oom hierarchy locking and the notification.
